What could change the picture
- No field is published yet: no golfer is confirmed to play.
- Course priorities come from earlier editions; a changed setup or conditions can change what matters this week.
- Wind and weather are not available: golf courses have no stored coordinates, so tee-wave conditions cannot be compared.
- Golfers with few measured PGA Tour rounds (majors publish no round strokes gained; golfers from other tours) do not appear in the form table.
